The article on the example of the novel by the Polish fantasy author Maja Lidia
Kossakowska, Ruda sfora, shows how the sacrum is manifested in the literary
space in this genre, which values and qualities are sanctified and opposed to what.
In order to build a typical for the genre’s plot – the struggle between the forces
of good and evil – Kossakowska used shamanic beliefs of the Yakuts. Presenting
dangers of doctrinal rationalism, she showed what the desire to extinguish the faith,
may lead to, and indicate element which brings hope in the unequal fight against
totalitarianism – the memory.
